I purchased the trimmer this summer and love it. I got rid of my gas trimmer. The battery lasts along time, usually get 5 uses before having to charge. The only thing I wish is the debris gard would be bigger. Told my father in law about the trimmer and he bought one immediately as well.

I needed a strong trimmer and my dad had a powerful gas trimmer that I used growing up. After watching several reviews and doing research I decided that the flexvolt trimmer would suit my needs and boy did it! I have tall plants and bamboo that was planted in my back yard and this cuts right through them. The only issue I found was the string it comes with breaks easily but if you upgrade to a tough .80 line it works great. The trimmer is very well balanced with the 3.0 ah flexvolt battery installed and runtime seems to be somewhere around 40 minutes to 1 hour of strong use. This is a great trimmer and plenty capable of cutting large overgrowth on banks and ditches.

I'm a dewalt fan, So I bought the small weed wacker when I got tired of messing around with gas and oil. The small one felt like it was going to fall apart when I used it. I figured that it had to just be one of the low end versions that you end up seeing in HD and I was right! This one is a tank, It will rip through everything and its smooth and solid and not that loud. When you look at what the battery cost on it's own its a deal. On battery life my yard is elaborate so it takes a hour and I've done it a few times without charging it not sure how many times it could go with out a charge it's never died.

The only thing I would change is the debris guard is not that big, So wear pants and safety glasses!!

I've had a series of weed trimmers over the past several years, and each of them has been disappointing in some significant way: Either batteries have died quickly or I'm trailing a hundred feet of extension cord or I'm constantly replacing broken spools or some combination of the above.

Recently I gave in and ordered the DW 60V trimmer.

Now my wife begins to understand my obsession with power tools! She used the heck out of this thing over the weekend and knocked down the forest of weeds and Bermuda grass that had invaded our property while we were gone for a month.

I asked her how she liked it. She honestly cackled and exclaimed, "It has so much POWER!"

I upgraded to this from the 20v trimmer since it first came out, and it has been great. The 20v trimmer was good for a 20v trimmer, but upgraded due to more power. The trimmer is great. very powerful, cuts through tough grass, and even small shrubs with small upgrades. Bump feed works well. haven't had issues. The power and performance is worth the upgrade.

I would recommend everyone who gets this product to do is to immediately upgrade the line to .095. It makes a huge difference. I'm not sure why dewalt doesn't ship with this line by default.

The vents on the motor get clogged up with small pieces of grass quickly when cutting thick weeds. I have to stop and clean them out maybe twice during 1 battery session. I wish dewalt would do something to address this, as it is really my only issue with the product itself.
